Granblue Fantasy Relink – Endless Ragnarok brings Cygames' action-RPG to Switch 2, bundling the base game with its expansion in one package. Real-time combat mixes melee and magic well, and new additions like Chaos difficulty, summons, Primal Bursts, and Mastery traits add welcome depth to the endgame. The story is solo-only, but the roughly 20-hour campaign is tightly paced, while the Konflux mode and online quests offer strong replay value for those chasing loot solo or in crossplay co-op. Visually the game runs smoothly, though the locked 30 FPS and lack of a performance mode may bother PC/PlayStation veterans. The soundtrack, blending Nobuo Uematsu and Tsutomu Narita's styles, is a definite highlight.

Rhythm Heaven Groove puts your sense of rhythm to the test — and it does so with charm, humour, and an impressive variety of minigames. No two beats are the same, and what starts off manageable can quickly turn into a serious challenge that keeps you coming back for more. The RPG mode and multiplayer options add welcome depth beyond the core minigame collection, while the accessibility features show that Nintendo thought of everyone when designing this title. A well-rounded, beat-packed package that's fun for all ages on Nintendo Switch.

Outbound delivers a relaxed and inviting cozy survival experience that successfully blends exploration, crafting, and base-building at your own pace. Its strength lies in its freedom: there is no pressure, no enemies, and no punishment for experimentation, making it an ideal game for players looking to unwind. While the crafting system can feel overly granular at times and some quality-of-life features are missing, these issues rarely break the overall experience. Minor technical rough edges and occasional interaction quirks are noticeable, but not disruptive enough to overshadow the core gameplay loop. Outbound is ultimately a slow-burning survival sandbox that prioritizes comfort over challenge — and largely succeeds in that vision.

All in all, however, Collector’s Cove is very well-rounded and a joy to play. When you factor in the price of €19.99 (or the 10% discount available through March 31, 2025), it all adds up to a solid overall package for me, and anyone who enjoys building and farming adventures should definitely check it out.

Two Point Museum is a very successful upgrade from the previous games. It takes all the elements that worked well in the earlier installments and adds a whole lot of variety and fun on top of that.

Lumo 2 is a very successful tribute to British games from the 1980s and 1990s. It’s a joy to puzzle your way through the rooms and figure things out for yourself through trial and error. However, if you have a low tolerance for frustration or don’t want to take the time to make progress through trial and error, Lumo 2 might not be the right game for you.

The combination of farm work, crafting, animal care, and social interactions works exceptionally well. The wide range of options, the voice acting, and the varied soundtrack all come together to create an immersive experience. Even the occasional slight stutter during cutscenes and on stormy days doesn't detract much from the experience.

The game is fun. The combat system is dynamic and rewarding, and the character designs and artwork are beautiful. Add to that the rock-inspired, atmospheric soundtrack, and the negative aspects are almost forgotten. It’s also worth noting that Gust and Koei Tecmo have continued to patch the game in the meantime, so perhaps the technical implementation will improve even further.

Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is a gripping, well-crafted, and thoroughly solid detective adventure that leaves players wanting more. I sincerely hope this won’t be the final entry in the series, as there are far too few games of this kind available on Nintendo Switch and other platforms — especially when setting the Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice titles aside.

In general, I can say that Moonstone Island is a very relaxed, beautifully crafted pixel-art game that still doesn’t feel boring even after extended playtime. Whether I’ll purchase the DLC as well is something I can’t currently say, as it consists purely of cosmetic items. Moonstone Island is a game for anyone who has ever wished for a blend of Stardew Valley and Pokémon. Thanks to its genre mix, it will also appeal to fans of cozy games such as Animal Crossing.

The game is well suited for players who are fascinated by highly detailed heavy construction machinery and have always wanted to operate such equipment themselves. Those who can look past its graphical and technical shortcomings will still find several enjoyable hours with the game.

Anyone who can overlook the textures and loading screens will have a great time with Fate/Samurai Remnant on Nintendo Switch, and will likely spend many hours immersed in the game—especially during the darker autumn and winter months.
